That game is from last year ;)

did you even look at the player who play? The rating should made you already sceptical, before looking at their current roster.

But i would also consider a bit about sarcasm of the rating method from him here, when reading the post.

not sure,

anyway
, wich is the diference in the A and AP role in a 2-3?,

no one, i think t e problem with 2-3 is how you use it, and both players A and AP should have big ID and good OD aswell, most teams who use 2-3 in real life uses big A in the A and AP position, any defence works ok with good players, ,not sure the tactic needs any reform but explore who it really works,

thats my opinion

3-2 working better than 2-3. Also nice job on the rebound, even if Biznietos played at home lol ¡

For the sake of it and a lot of nerd's passion for the game.

Please notice the consideration I have for you to inflict me the pain of putting up those numbers of a game I care as much as my 57th scrimmage :)

Now listen, let's look beyond the ratings !

Atlético used a pair of seemingly solid and experienced 100k Cs as PF/C.
Here are the chaps : (5197170) and (818124).
When one of them needed to catch his breath, he was subbed for a decent and experienced 50k C, 31 : (2643334).
All the 3 of them rotated at the PF/C positions.
It's a straight approach and you can't dispute there is coherence in Atlético's selection.

Los Biz obviously played using 'Let coach decide'.
No less than 6 players were used as PF ! 4 different ones in QT1 already, all 6 of them during QT4.
Here is a breakdown by time played as PF :
19:55 : (6762746), Segala, 40k PF, used a lot during the game but mostly as SF.
13:47 : (9722013), Riveiro, 50k C, starting C, switched to PF for long periods.
7:57 : (9210260), Flowers, 18k SF, dubbed Air Jordan, implying he might not be a first choice as an inside player ?
3:07 : (11570031), 30k PG, 5'9" (inside skills training ?)...
1:51 : (14786110), 8k SF, dubbed Chris Mullin
1:23 : (2587501), 35k SG, dubbed Larry Bird

Riveiro was the starting C, when he switched to PF or was benched, this player, a 14k PF, was used as C : (8978773). He played 21 minutes as C.
The SF position was filled mostly by Segala and Flowers.
Riveiro and Segala, partnered as PF/C for less than 20 minutes. The other players used are substandard compared to Atlético's bigs.

Is it really inconceivable that Los Biz's 2-3 couldn't stop Atlético's inside offense ?

What's odd with the rebounds is that from the 50 shots + maybe FTs missed by Atlético only 33 were collected as rebounds. It might explain partially the discrepancy between the ratings and the stats.

Post games you think show the 2-3 is broken, it may lead to interesting discussions but please put some effort in it, don't look only superficially at the ratings and post random irrelevant games. It's disappointing from you, you know better than that.
We have just made a case against the coach AI instead of 2-3 with this game, join our cause and drop this one ! :)

I am not filthy, I have a very personal strategy regarding my microbial environment ;p

I am not advocating anything, I mostly stay away from 2-3 and use it very sparsely. I think there is a precise set of circumstances when to use it like FCP and 1-3-1. It's true it's hard to set up an efficient 2-3. In any case, I don't want to have to resort to an extreme defense, that would mean I am desperate and seriously overpowered. It should only become an option on very special cases.
What is certainly a wrong move is to pick 2-3 simply because the opponent attacks inside.

Besides I care A LOT about Clusis manager ;p
